During the early modern period Oman held a key position in the
trade routes whereby the Muslim world dominated indigenous trade in
the Indian Ocean. In the second half of the eighteenth century,
Oman broke free from foreign political control and became the
dominant economic and naval force in the western Indian Ocean and
the Gulf. This was a golden age for Omanis, when their economic
power and political prestige were at their height. This study,
first published in 1986, presents a detailed, comprehensive history
of this important period, and includes tribal politics, the role of
religion, and Oman's relations with neighbouring areas such as
Persia and East Africa. The era ends with the political and
maritime pressures exerted on Oman by Britain and France, and the
territorial pressures exerted by the Wahhabi Arabians.
